USA: Study Quantifies Risk for Gastric, Breast Cancer for Germline CDH1 P/LP Variants

The cumulative risk for advanced gastric cancer varies from 6.5 to 10.3 percent for carriers of germline CDH1 pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants, according to a study published online June 14 in the Journal of the American Medical Association to coincide with presentation at the International Gastric Cancer Linkage Consortium, held from June 13 to 15 in Porto, Portugal.

Carrie E. Ryan, M.D., from the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, and colleagues describe gastric and breast cancer risk estimates for individuals with CDH1 variants in a multicenter retrospective cohort and modeling study. Data were included from 213 families from North America with a germline CDH1 P/LP variant; 883 of the 7,323 individuals had a CDH1 P/LP variant.
